Day 1:

 

Baptism Site – Nebo – Madaba,

You will start the day by visiting Baptism Site which is your next stop, Bethany beyond the Jordan River, (The Baptism site), for Christians, the most significant event associated with the River Jordan is undoubtedly the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist, known in Arabic as al-Maghtas, located at the head of a lush valley just east of the Jordan River.

Then visit Mount Nebo, which was the Final station in Moses’ historic flight from Egypt to the Holy Land. Moses and his people camped “in the valley near Beth-peor”, a place long associated with the site known today as Ayun Musa (Springs of Moses), a small lush valley northeast of Mount Nebo. Another name for Mount Nebo is Pisgah (Syagha in Arabic).

From Mount Nebo’s windswept promontory, overlooking the Dead Sea, the Jordan River Valley, Jericho, and the distant hills of Jerusalem, Moses viewed the Holy Land of Canaan that he would never enter, he died and was buried in Moab, “in the valley opposite Beth-peor” but his tomb remains unknown.

Next drive to Madaba and its hinterlands were repeatedly mentioned in the Old Testament as Medeba, and was featured in narratives related to Moses and the Exodus, David’s war against the Moabites, Isaiah’s oracle against Moab, and King Mesha of Moab’s rebellion against Israel.

Some of the finest art of the early Christian centuries can still be seen in Madaba city and its surrounding regions in central Jordan, Church of Saint George, mosaic map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land, the earliest religious map of the Holy land, and then head back to Amman, to your hotel for dinner and overnight.

 

Day 2:

 

Amman – Al-Salt,

In the morning you will be visiting, The Jordanian capital, mentioned in the Bible by the name of Rabath Ammon, visit Amman Citadel, Archeology and the Folklore Museums, the Roman Theater, the old and modern Amman.

Next drive to Al-Salt, One of the earliest patriarchal figures in the Bible is Job, whose book is one of the world’s great masterpieces of religious literature. Also it houses the tomb/shrine of Job, the wealthy, righteous man from the Land of Uz.

Salt is also the location of the tomb/shrine of the prophet Jethro, who was the father-in-law of Moses, it is also the site of the tombs of Jad and Asher, who were both sons of Jacob.
